compress tarballs with xz
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

hello

to reduce the download time (and traffic on internet) would it be possible to add a release tarball compressed with xz for all the projects ?

As the autotools are used, it's very easy to create them.

thank you

No sorry, we won't do that for the regular source. However, the full source for the binary installer is xz compressed. That is because we are legally required to publish the source but in reality the source ist not used and weel, to build you have lots of other requirements with xz being the simplest one.
